My reaction: I wasn’t aware that compensatory picks could be awarded out of sheer pity. (OK, that wasn’t my line. Dan Daly’s on vacation but that doesn’t stop him from sending in bon mots.)

Evidently, the NFL thought ol’ Brunny is worth the 243rd pick in next month’s draft. The Redskins now have a seventh round pick (remember, they traded their own to Minnesota for the great Erasmus James, he of 39 snaps and two tackles before his release). The Redskins can’t trade this compensatory pick so fans can only hope they don’t draft another quarterback or punter.
